Examples

Sipson residents have never been anti-Heathrow many of them down the years have earned their living at the airport, but they have had to live with the threat of obliteration and to take promises of no further expansion with a pinch of salt.

The right way to live has become the right lifestyle to have: not a single-issue argument as in the old days, but a whole package of values, some anarchist, some libertarian, but more often old-fashioned Trotskyist socialism in which anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-Heathrow expansionism and anti-fat-cat-ism are opposed to a higgledy-piggledy mixture of the positive virtues of environmental concern and in favour of a new world order based on citizenship of "planet earth".

I note with a wry smile that the latest celebrity to join the anti-Heathrow bandwagon, the actress Emma Thompson, took part in a photo call urging people to stop flying just hours before, ahem, flying off to L.A. for the Golden Globes.
